Here's the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

You are correct. I got the terminology wrong, there's alcohol and then there's acetaldehyde, which is a breakdown molecule of the alcohol.

Too much acetaldehyde can intensify the effects of a hangover and it takes longer to flush it out.

Drinking more water can help dilute the acetaldehyde or improve your body's ability to flush it out, but there is no singular hangover cure other than to not drink so much that you get a hangover.
